Drew and may look to trade Beltre at some point to try and bone up my pitching (or a better catcher).&#160; Overall, I felt that the draft went relatively well, despite my rather weak starting pitchers.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we won\u2019t actually know how successful my season will be until the real season starts in a week.<\/p>\n<p>I had a dream last night that I had built an Iron Man-like suit and was flying down the hallway of an old apartment my parents and I lived in when I was a kid.&#160; It was quite strange.<\/p>\n<p>I played Fallout 3 until about 3 AM last night.&#160; That was too late.&#160; I haven\u2019t even bought the Pittsburgh expansion yet!&#160; I do plan to, though, so that I can stand in a ruined Point State Park and shoot mutants.&#160; It was my dream in Pittsburgh, but\u2026the apocalypse never happened.&#160; Oh well.&#160; Maybe one day.<\/p>\n<p>You know, I never thought I\u2019d have one of those guy friends who\u2019s \u201cthat guy.\u201d&#160; But now that I think about it, my co-worker Jerome is kind of like \u201cthat guy.\u201d&#160; And that\u2019s cool with me.&#160; Like, the movie <em>I Love You, Man<\/em> just came out.&#160; Looked kind of funny, but would I really see it on opening weekend?&#160; If I\u2019m Jerome, the answer is OH YES.&#160; That guy.&#160; He\u2019s great.&#160; He and his scruffy Euro-face.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think Jerome reads these.&#160; I guess we\u2019ll see!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been playing the recently-released EA DS game <a href=\"http:\/\/www.henryhatsworth.com\/en_us\/home.action\" target=\"_blank\">Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure<\/a>, which is a great title and an addictive game, but I\u2019m not sure how much I actually <em>like <\/em>it.&#160; I want to keep playing because I want to see what additional powers I get, but the levels and action get a bit repetitive and dying \u2013 although there isn\u2019t a large penalty associated with it \u2013 is annoying when it\u2019s because I\u2019ve been suddenly surrounded by enemies.&#160; In other words, the difficulty seems a bit manufactured instead of natural.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no Professor Layton, that\u2019s for sure.&#160; Here\u2019s some Professor Layton fan art I found on the Internet:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scott-n-katie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/layton.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"layton\" style=\"border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px\" height=\"240\" alt=\"layton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scott-n-katie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/layton-thumb.jpg\" width=\"118\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For reference, here\u2019s the fantasy baseball team I drafted: C Mike Napoli 1B Joey Votto 1B Mike Jacobs (bench) 2B Brandon Phillips 3B Aramis Ramirez 3B Adrian Beltre (bench) SS Jimmy Rollins OF Bobby Abreu OF Matt Holliday OF Carlos Quentin OF Jermaine Dye OF J.D.
